Default Kodak Only Gets 3 of 5 Stars - Review

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759...129TX1K0000530


Based on my understanding of the review the Canon is faster and offers
higher quality photo results. And the claimed savings in ink costs was
neither proved or disproved.

"measkite" what you write is neither proved or disproved.
Your advice precludes that users have huge sums of money to spend on inks.
Most don't.

When Kodak announced its new EasyShare line of all-in-ones (AIOs), it
garnered a lot of attention. Not only was Kodak venturing into new territory
with AIOs aimed for the home and home office, it claimed its ink prices were
low enough to cut printing costs by up to half compared with the
competition. I tested the first EasyShare AIO-the Kodak EasyShare 5300
All-In-One printer ($200 street)-and the news is largely good. The 5300 may
not be a home run, but it's at least arguably a triple, and that's not bad
for a first time at bat.

Did you actually read the review? If so, exactly where did it say that
Canon offers "higher quality photo results" because I seemed to have missed
that part.

Measher****head is a "shill" (a plant) of canons to market their
products in this ng.
They give him candy every time he mentions their name in a favorable manner.
They (canon) haven't sent him any candy for years now as all he ever
does is ruin their good name.
IOW, he's a real jerk!

Read the part about Editors choice and then read the other reviews their
about Canon.

The Kodak printers will cost less than half to operate with their
cheaper ink cartridges.

And as to quality, the resolution of modern printers has long
surpassed the ability of humans to discern the difference.

So, not to worry, the Kodak costs half what a Canon or HP costs.

Read the article. The ink costs may or may not be better than alternatives,
but seem nowhere near the claimed half cost. I would like to see published
test data (like that at http://www.hp.com/pageyield/us/en/ for the HP units)
for the Kodak units.

I would also like to see published data that HP is no longer putting
games on their PCs that are sponsored by a known adware company GATOR
with the new name of WILD TANGENT. I had to remove all of that type of
software from a friends computer. I do not think that HP should support
that kind of a company.

Here are links for more info:

http://forums.spywareinfo.com/lofive...hp/t82917.html


Now I have nothing against HP products, just their policies and their
support. I still have and use an HP990 and I like it except for the
driver that does cause some intermittent problems. I did upgrade the
driver and it caused more problems so I went back to the factory CD.
